I usually take off and never get any grief for it, I'm only working this year because it's my escape from quarantine. Getting off at 3 though, the office has been closing at 3 but I normally stay until 5. Not happening today, no soliciting order in effect.

we used to to get Good Friday and Black Friday off as a paid holiday.

three years ago they changed it up and changed them from Holidays to work days. But they gave us an extra 16 hours in PTO. So im 100% ok with that

Been at my current office for a little under three years, they gave us off this year but it was the first time they have. No other place ever did.

I wouldn't say the majority up here are off but it's a decent amount, and a lot of people take the day off anyway. Just use a sick/personal day.

Should really just be you have some # of holidays off to use as per your own personal beliefs.

find it to be more of a tradition in high catholic areas, when I worked in north Mississippi, they laughed when I asked if we got off for Good Friday, same as when I worked for a national corporation



I work for a national corporation and we have Good Friday off.

The boss called me this morning and asked "are you at the office today?"

"Why wouldn't I be at the office?"

"I'm not. I'm at the camp in Mississippi. Its good Friday. Go home."

Sounds great, but I'm underwater with my workload right now.

Subtle Brag...

I’ve worked for 2 tens of billions/year companies- one Fortune 500, one based in Europe, but #1s closest competitor and both were always off (paid) on Good Friday.

I knew it must be a holiday when I saw this Trump tweet yesterday.
